1. Introduction
In recent years, the total annual production of near and off-shore fisheries in South Korea could not reach one million tons for the first time, only recording 0.91 and 0.93 million tons in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Fishery resources are becoming scarce due to changes in the fishing environment,such as high water temperatures caused by global warming, overfishing of young fish, and the pollution of fish habitats due to the inflow of land pollutants to near- and off-shore areas (Cho, 2006). In addition, the increase in fishing costs due to rising labor and oil costs is decreasing the competitiveness of the near- and offshore fisheries. In these situations, the prediction of fish catch that spatiotemporally changes according to the sea state is crucial in maintaining and developing fisheries (Markridakis and Hyndman, 1974).
In previous studies, the relationships between fish catch and marine environmental factors were qualitatively analyzed (Kim et al., 2017; Song, 2018; Yoo et al., 2018). Regression analysis was performed using water temperature and zooplankton as explanatory variables to estimate CPUE (catch per unit effort) (National Institute of Fisheries Science, 1992; Hwang et al., 2012; Park, 2013). Fish catch has a complex and nonlinear relationship with various marine, meteorological, and biological factors in terms of time and space (Yoo and Zhang, 1993). Such complexity and nonlinearity have been considered lately, and attempts have been performed to predict the squid (Todarodes pacificus) catch for the SAU (sea area unit, approximately 50-km grid) as three categories (large, medium, and small) using artificial intelligence methods(Korea MeteorologicalAdministration, 2016) or to predict the monthly catch of mackerel and squid using deep learning (National Institute of Fisheries Science, 2018). These studies used various marine environmental data as input variables. However, monthly predictions on a 50-km grid are not sufficient information for fishing vessels which sail every day.
The development of daily catch prediction information in a finer spatial resolution will provide more precise data, and in practice, be more helpful for fisheries. The purpose of this study is to develop artificial intelligence models using marine meteorological variables and satellite data which affect fish catch as input data to predict the daily catch of mackerel, anchovies, and squid for the SSAU (small sea-area unit, approximately a 15-km grid). Fig. 1 shows the flow chart for the daily catch prediction of mackerel, anchovies, and squid, which are three major fish species in the near- and offshore areas of South Korea. Spatiotemporal matchup between the satellite, marine, and meteorological data and the fish catch statistics of Suhyup (National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives) was performed, and three artificial intelligence models based on SVM (support vector machine), RF (random forest), and DNN (deep neural network) were trained and validated.

2. Theoretical Background
1) Ecology of near- and off-shore fish species
Near- and off-shore areas generally refer to shallow sea with a water depth of up to 200 m. Mackerel, anchovies, and squid are three major fish species that represent the highest proportions in near- and off-shore fisheries in South Korea. They are popular with high economic value. Mackerel is mostly distributed in tropical and temperate sea areas. As a fish species that swims near the sea surface, mackerel inhabits the sea surface within a 200 m water layer. For them, the habitat water temperature range is 7-25°C and the optimal water temperature range is 15-19°C. They mostly spawn in the surrounding waters of Jeju Island and Tsushima Island in April and May (Cha et al.,2002).Anchovies are warm-water fish distributed in all waters surrounding South Korea. They are coastal catadromous fish that live on the continental shelf up to 20 m water depth. For them, the habitat water temperature ranges from 8 to 30°C and the optimal water temperature ranges from 13 to 23°C. Their main spawning season is from May to July, and spawning and growth occur mostly on the southern coast (National Institute of Fisheries Science, 2005). Squid is a warm-water catadromous fish that lives within approximately 200 m from the sea surface. It is an annual fish species that dies after spawning (Roper et al., 1969). Its habitat water temperature range is 4- 27°C and the optimal water temperature range is 12- 18°C. It mostly spawns near the seabed in the shallow waters of the East China Sea and the southern part of the East Sea.
2) Sea state variables affecting fish catch
The sea state refers to the state of the sea that combines marine and meteorological factors that affect fish catch, such as water temperature, salinity, seawater flow, nutrient salts, and plankton. In near- and off-shore areas, the variability in sea state is larger compared to the deep sea. Such physical, chemical, and biological properties of seawater are very important for estimating fish catch (Tom, 1983).
(1) Water temperature
The fifth report of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) predicted that the air, ocean temperatures, and sea level of the earth would continuously rise (CoreWritingTeamet al., 2014). Such climate change is prone to affect marine ecosystems, thereby causing changes in fish species composition, fish habitats, and fish catch (Cochrane et al., 2009; Lu and Lee, 2014). Over the last 100 years (1918- 2017), the air temperature and sea surface temperature increased by 1.55°C and 0.62°C on average globally. In addition, the sea surface temperature of South Korea has increased by approximately 1.1°C over the last 50 years. It has also increased by 1.7°C in the East Sea, 1.4°C in the South Sea, and 0.3°C in the West Sea (Statistics Korea, 2018). These changes in water temperature have increased warm-water fish species and decreased cold-water fish species in the near- and off-shore areas of South Korea since 1990.
(2) Salinity
All marine organisms live in saline water and control osmotic pressure. Salinity is subject to spatiotemporal changes depending on the influence of wind and rainfall (Thorson, 1971). The mackerel catch tended to increase when salinity was between 32 and 34.4‰ (Lee, 2009), and the anchovy catch tended to increase when salinity was between 31.5 and 34‰ (Seo, 1999). As different fish species have different salinities suitable for habitation and spawning, it is necessary to analyze the spatial distribution of salinity and identify its change patterns for predicting fish catch.
(3) Currents and waves
Wind generates surface currents and waves due to its friction with the sea surface (Tom, 1983). For catadromous fish that move in a certain sea according to the season, such as mackerel, anchovies, and squid, the production varies depending on the surface current patterns. If the wind blows continuously in a constant direction over the sea surface of a coastal area, upwelling may occur due to the Ekman spiral. This phenomenon transports deep water with abundant nutrient salts and affects the growth of phytoplankton. It may also contribute to the fishery formation by inducing fish clusters (Ryther, 1969; Cho et al., 2003; Williamson et al., 2009). In this study, the sea surface wind velocity and significant wave height, which is the average of the values that correspond to the upper third of the total wave height, were used as input data.
(4) Air-sea interaction
On the sea surface between the atmosphere and the sea, the exchange of heat, water, and momentum affect the physical phenomena of both the atmosphere and the sea. The pressure gradient force generated by the pressure difference is a factor that generates ocean currents. Water exchange by evaporation is an important factor that affects heat exchange. The atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, and rainfall are variables that can be considered in the analysis of fish catch (Nam and Noh, 2012; Song, 2013).
3. Study Areas and Data
1) Study areas
Among the fisheries of mackerel, anchovies, and squid, representative SAUs were selected as study areas (Fig. 2). SAU 224, 232, 233, and 234 in the vicinity of Jeju Island were selected for mackerel, and SAU 97, 98, 104, and 105 near the South Sea were selected for anchovies. SAU 76, 82, 87, and 93 on the east coast were selected for squid. One SAU was again composed of 3×3 SSAUs. From 2014 to 2016, daily fish catch data were collected for each SSAU. Mackerel are mostly found near Jeju Island in autumn and winter, and anchovies generally stay near the South Sea from spring to autumn. Squid is mostly observed on the east coast from July to November.Therefore, the frequency of seasonal data was constructed with differences depending on the fish species.

2) Numerical weather prediction data
The numerical weather prediction model of KMA (Korea Meteorologica Administration)includes global, regional, and local models as shown in Table 1 (https://www.kma.go.kr/aboutkma/intro/supercom/model/model _category.jsp). Among them, the RDAPS (Regional Data Assimilation and Prediction System) data with a 12-km grid, which is most similar to the SSAU 15-km grid, was used. RDAPS receives boundary conditions from the global model every three hours, and performs predictions four times a day (00, 06, 12, and 18 UTC) through 4-dimensional variational data assimilation. The RDAPS data are provided in the GRIB2 (Gridded Binary 2) format, a WMO (World Meteorological Organization)standard. The pressure, relative humidity, and rainfall data required for CPUE prediction were extracted.
Table 1. Data Assimilation and Prediction System by Korea Meteorological Administration
Table 2. Wave models by Korea Meteorological Administration
3) Regional wave model data
The wave model of KMA provides forecast data, such as on significant wave height, wave aspect, and wave period, for global, regional, and regional coasts as shown in Table 2 (https://www.kma.go.kr/aboutkma/intro/supercom/model/model_category.jsp). The RWW3 (Regional Wave Model) with an 8-km grid, which is most similar to the SSAU 15-km grid, performs predictions twice a day (00 and 12 UTC). From the model, the wind speed and significant wave height variables were extracted and used.
4) Sea surface temperature data
The OSTIA (Operational Sea Surface Temperature and Sea Ice Analysis) data of the GHRSST (Group of High-Resolution Sea Surface Temperature) are provided as a daily mean-field of 6 km resolution by combining the SST and in-situ buoy data obtained from the following sensors: AMSR-E (Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-EOS) of the Aqua satellite, AATSR (Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer) of the EnviSat satellite, SEVIRI(Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager) of the MSG (MeteoSat Second Generation) satellite, AVHRR-3 (Advanced Very High-Resolution Radiometer-3) of the NOAA-16, NOAA-17, and NOAA-18 satellites, and TMI (TRMM Microwave Imager) of the TRMM(Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission)satellite (https:// www.metoffice.gov.uk).
5) Ocean Grid in-situ data
The Ocean Grid service of the KHOA (Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency) (https:// www.khoa.go.kr/oceangrid) provides ocean observation data through an API (open application programming interface). Among them, the 1-minute salinity data of Hupo, Tongyeong, Yeosu, and Seongsanpo, which are monitoring stations close to the study areas, were acquired.
6) Data preprocessing and spatiotemporal matching
Since the input data have different spatiotemporal resolutions as shown inTable 3, data preprocessing for spatial and temporal matching is required. The temporal resolution was matched based on the daily mean to predict daily fish catch. For the salinity data, 1-minute data were averaged for 24 hours. For the RDAPS and RWW3, data provided twice or four times a day were averaged. For spatial matching, the grid points of the RDAPS, RWW3, and OSTIA data were matched using the nearest neighbor method based on the SSAU 15- km grid. The point data from KHOA Ocean Grid observation were also matched to the closest cell of SSAU.
Table 3. Summary of data used in this study
Fish catch data, which are records reported by fishing vessels, were provided by Suhyup. The data have high reliability in terms of locations, but the fish catch report may be often missing (Korea Meteorological Administration, 2016). CPUE is total fish catch divided by the total effort, and it was expressed in ton/boat in this study.
4. Analysis Methods
Fish catch was predicted using the artificial intelligence models based on SVM, RF, and DNN, which used CPUE as a response variable and the sea surface temperature, salinity, pressure, relative humidity, rainfall, sea surface wind velocity, and significant wave height as explanatory variables. The results were compared and evaluated.
1) Support vector machine
SVM is a machine-learning algorithm for optimal grouping of data, and can be combined with a regression model for optimal grouping (Pal and Mather, 2003; Jensen et al., 2009; Duro et al., 2012). A hyperplane is used for optimal grouping of data (Mountrakis et al., 2011; Foody and Mathur, 2006;Van der Linden and Hostert, 2009) by maximizing the margin between groups. The MMH can be found by maximizing the margin between support vectors at the boundary of the data groups(Meyer, 2014) using kernel functions, such as linear and Gaussian RBF (radial basis function) (Fig. 3). We used a Gaussian RBF as the kernel function in this experiment.
2) Random forest
RF, which represents an improved version of CART (classification and regression trees), is an ensemble method that uses the bootstrap and bagging process(Breiman andCutler, 2014).It generates a large number of decision trees with slightly different features by extracting random samples from the training data, including a bootstrap that determines the suitability of the sampling distribution, and conducts resampling as needed. During the bagging process, bootstrap-based decision trees are aggregated to create a final solution using an ensemble method, such as the average (or majority vote) (Breiman, 2001; Ali et al., 2012). The final decision tree can be optimized by the tree pruning algorithm to determine an optimal size for the trees. In our experiment, the number of trees was set to 500, and the number of variables used for splitting nodes was set to n/3 (n = number of input variables). In addition, the out-of-bag error was used as the criterion of model suitability (Fig. 4).

3) Deep neural network
The classic neural network method has a local minima problem in which an optimization process often stops at a locally, rather than globally, optimized state. In addition, generic machine learning methods sometimes have problems with overfitting, in which they cannot handle data with outliers due to excessive learning from the given dataset. Such problems can be resolved by DNNs through an intensive optimization process in a deep network structure (Fig. 5). To handle local minima and issues with overfitting, L1/L2 regularization can be performed to ensure sparsity (L1) and simplicity (L2) of the DNN model. Also, backward and forward optimization is conducted in the backpropagation algorithm to improve accuracy. The problem of vanishing gradients of loss functions, which may occur during the back-propagation process, can be managed by applying appropriate activation functions, such as sigmoid and RELU (rectified linear unit). The drop-out method deals with unexpected outliers via a learning mechanism, in which the DNN model becomes more robust to extreme cases through iterations of a type of handicapped training with randomly deleted links and nodes (Pham et al., 2014). In addition, a weight and bias set built in an existing DNN model can be imported as an initial value of a new DNN model for more custom-tailored training. This is called pre-training and transfer learning, which can improve the optimization of a DNN model. Finetuning can also be incorporated into the optimization process to adjust the weight and biasset in more detail, by including additional training data (Erhan et al., 2010). In our experiment, the hidden units consisted of 200-200-200, and the number of epochs was set to 300. We usedAdaDelta (adaptive delta)for an optimizer and RELU for an activation function.

4) Training and validation
A10-fold blind test method was used for the training and validation of artificial intelligence models. First, 4,113 spatiotemporal matchups between 2014 and 2016 were used in the SVM, RF, and DNN models for mackerel, anchovies, and squid to construct a total of nine models, and the 10-fold blind test results for each model were collected. The MBE (mean bias error), MAE (mean absolute error), RMSE (root mean square error), and CC (correlation coefficient) were used as validation statistics.
Table. 4. Multicollinearity of explanatory variables by fish species
5. Results and Discussion
As multicollinearity among the explanatory variables may cause erratic results in response to small changes in the model or the data (Kim et al., 2018), it was checked using the VIF (variation inflation factor) before modeling. In general, aVIF > 10 indicates the presence of multicollinearity. All of the seven explanatory variables mentioned above were adopted in this study because there was no multicollinearity among them (Table 4).
The 10-fold blind test using the matchups between 2014 and 2016 showed that the DNN models exhibited relatively higher performance among the fish catch prediction models of mackerel, anchovies, and squid (Tables 5, 6, and 7). The correlation coefficients of the DNN models were 0.745 for mackerel, 0.864 for anchovies, and 0.842 for squid. The models exhibited high accuracy considering that they performed daily predictions for the SSAU 15-km grid. The RMSE of mackerel was higher than those of anchovies and squid. It may be implied that CPUE of mackerel were much larger than those of anchovies and squid, and thus the magnitude of the error was relatively higher. For the DNN models that exhibited the highest performances, the scatter plots of the observed and predicted values are shown in Fig. 6, 7, and 8. The blind test results of mackerel, anchovies, and squid showed that most of the cases were concentrated on the one-to-one lines in spite of slight overestimation or underestimation tendencies. Vertically arranged points occasionally observed in the scatterplots may be due to inescapable noise in the observed values. To mitigate such phenomenon, outlier detection techniques such as Cook’s distance test can be employed to find out the records which may distort the relationship between explanatory and response variables.

6. Conclusion
In this study, the daily catch of mackerel, anchovies, and squid, which are three major fish species in the near- and off-shore areas of South Korea, were predicted and validated on the SSAU 15-km grid through artificial intelligence modeling with marine, meteorological, and satellite data. While previous studies predicted the fish catch on the SAU 50-km grid or monthly basis, this study is significant in that it further improved temporal and spatial resolutions. In addition, the correlation coefficient of the validation statistics ranged from 0.745 to 0.864, indicating excellent accuracy. Approximately 4,000 fish catch data between 2014 and 2016 were available for our experiment. However, it was not sufficient for artificial intelligence modeling, and some data might include inescapable noise. In the future, it is expected that the accuracy of fish catch prediction models will be further improved if higher-quality large-volume data are available. In South Korea, fishery resources have been managed since 1999 by implementing the TAC (total allowable catch) system. If the prediction of fish catch becomes reliable, it will be more efficient to implement the TAC system. It is also expected to be used as valuable information in various directions, such as base data for estitmating the amount of loss for the case of damage to a fishery. Moreover, an application on the mobile web can help practical use of the prediction information for the people in the fishery industries.
